Landlords will be able to obtain relief as follows:

in 2017 to 2018 the deduction from property income (as is currently allowed) will be restricted to 75% of finance costs, with the remaining 25% being available as a basic rate tax reduction

in 2018 to 2019, 50% finance costs deduction and 50% given as a basic rate tax reduction

in 2019 to 2020, 25% finance costs deduction and 75% given as a basic rate tax reduction

from 2020 to 2021 all financing costs incurred by a landlord will be given as a basic rate tax reduction

Finance costs includes mortgage interest, interest on loans to buy furnishings and fees incurred when taking out or repaying mortgages or loans. No relief is available for capital repayments of a mortgage or loan.
